Now, there’s a million things wrong with this logic - but I also do blame the city for not screaming at the top of their lungs about this at the state level. At the end of the day, it’s our city that looks like sh*t and the bureaucrats responsible live 150 miles west and don’t give a flying fu#$.

I remember reading an article stating something to this effect.
Here's the thing. I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
Where are the receipts? Where are these elusive street cleaners? Literally, there have been a few sightings in YEARS and they're like we spend half our budget on the Philly area.
Bullsh*t.
